· Entertainment · United States

Warner Bros/DC's 'Clayface' and A24's 'You Can See Everything' both stayed above $10 million over the Halloween weekend, with all titles grossing more than $63 million domestically, according to Saturday estimates. Sources gave the edge to the A24 documentary duo of Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder over the DC character film in the race for No. 1. The weekend is described as not the worst of the year but close, underscoring a soft theatrical market as studios compete for attention during the holiday frame.

Why it matters:A documentary beating a superhero title would signal shifting audience tastes and pressure studios' franchise-heavy release strategies.
